Investigation on the optimal simplified model of BIW structure using FEM
Abstract At conceptual phases of designing a vehicle, engineers need simplified models to examine the structural and functional characteristics and apply custom modifications for achieving the best vehicle design. Using detailed finite-element (FE) model of the vehicle at early steps can be very con...
